I like it better without them - especially on the white.

I wish someone would make a rear fog light kit that would replace the reflectors

You must keep in mind that any bondo work on your bumper may crack in the future.

I'd leave it stock.

I agree, something like that I would just save the money and do something else.

your reflectors are there to reflect lights from cars behind you so that when your car is parked on a street it will be seen and more likely to avoid being hit.

blacking out all the rear lights like the car above might look nice, but won't look too smart when the car gets hit from behind because other motorist can't see the parked IS on the street.

Safety schmafety. I think the reflectors look horrible, so I would definitely get rid of them.

When youll get rid of them, send them to me. I want a pair to put led array in, kinda like a test rabbit, and use them as driving lights. Anyone has a pair to spare?

regards, Bart.
